Midterm outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with active cancer

Open Heart

Objectives The clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant active cancer remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to assess the midterm outcomes of TAVR in patients diagnosed with AS and active cancer.

Prevalence and relevance of H558R in the efficacy and toxicity of flecainide in patients with atrial fibrillation: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Methods This cohort study included patients diagnosed with AF and prescribed flecainide between 2017 and 2021 in a regional health area. Patients without the polymorphism (H558R–/–) were compared with heterozygous patients (H558R+/–) for a primary outcome of combined 6-month AF recurrence or toxicity.

In-hospital outcomes predictors and trends of redo sternotomy aortic root replacements: insights from a UK registry analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Redo sternotomy aortic root surgery is technically demanding, and the evidence on outcomes is mostly from retrospective, small sample, single-centre studies. We report the trend, early clinical results and outcome predictors of redo aortic root replacement over 20 years in the United Kingdom.
